Victory for the Kansas City Chiefs!
Moritz Grossmann congratulates the Kansas City Chiefs
with its SUPER BOWL Watch 2020
The victorious Kansas City Chiefs have won the Super Bowl again for the first time
in 50 years. They achieved an outstanding victory against the Californian San
Francisco 49ers with a final score of 31:20. For the Chiefs, this 54th Super Bowl on
2 February marked their third time taking part in the final of the National Football
League (NFL). In 1970, they won the Super Bowl against the Minnesota Vikings,
and three years prior to that they took part in the first ever Super Bowl, losing to
the Green Bay Packers.
For the team, this is the second Super Bowl victory in its history. We pay tribute to
this unique team performance and congratulate the Kansas City Chiefs winning
the Super Bowl with the Moritz Grossmann SUPER BOWL Watch 2020!
The independent Moritz Grossmann watch manufactory from Saxony's Glashütte
dedicates this unique timepiece to watch connoisseurs and fans of American
football. The special model is a HIGH ART variant of the BENU Contemporary
model line with a sporty stainless steel case. High Art stands for the highest level
of finishing produced in the manufactory, namely its ‘High Artistic Finish’, which is
unparalleled in Glashütte in terms of quality. Another special feature of the
unique piece is the specially made dial. With an exquisite insert in the shape of a
football, the highly finished calibre 100.1 is visible in some places. The match
result 31:20 is engraved on the dial together with the year 2020 and will help the
wearer carry the happy feeling of victory with them into the future. The hands,
which are made in the manufactory itself, as well as the seams on the alligator
leather strap, are in the team colours of the Chiefs: red, yellow and white.
About the Kansas City Chiefs:
Today's Kansas City Chiefs were once founded as the Dallas Texans in the
American Football League (AFL), the NFL's competitive league at the time. Back
then, with the exception of the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, there
was no professional team located west of the Mississippi and south of
Washington, D.C. The name ‘Chief’ originated from the Kansas City businessman
and scout H. Roe Bartle. He was fascinated by the wisdom of Native American
chiefs and contributed to local understanding between peoples.

Moritz Grossmann watches:
Moritz Grossmann, born in Dresden in 1826, was deemed a visionary among Germany’s great
horologists. In 1854, his friend Ferdinand Adolph Lange persuaded the young, highly talented
watchmaker to establish his own mechanical workshop in Glashütte. Apart from building a
respected watchmaking business, Grossmann was committed to political and social causes. He
established the German School of Watchmaking in 1878. Moritz Grossmann passed away
unexpectedly in 1885, after which his manufacture was liquidated.
The spirit of Moritz Grossmann's horological traditions sprang back to life in 2008 when trained
watchmaker Christine Hutter discovered the venerable Glashütte brand and had it re-registered.
She developed concepts and was inspired by the vision of reviving Grossmann’s legacy more than
120 years later with a particularly exquisite wristwatch. And she convinced private watch
enthusiasts to support her in making this dream come true. On 11 November 2008, she
incorporated Grossmann Uhren GmbH in Glashütte.
At Grossmann, gifted watchmakers are preserving traditions without copying historic timepieces.
With innovation, superb craftsmanship, a combination of traditional and contemporary
manufacturing methods as well as precious materials, they are celebrating Schönstes deutsches
Handwerk in their watches.
